Longmont High School freshman Aurora Brandt visited the show on Saturday to see pieces from some friends and her own charcoal drawing of a dog's face.

Brandt said she's been into art since third grade and having her piece featured in a show is really exciting.

"It's pretty cool to have mine here because it means that I'm good enough," Brandt said.

Only select pieces from each school are on display since there isn't room to display work from all of the students across the district. Choosing which ones to show is the hardest part of the show for the art teachers.

Gage said he tries not to look at the names on the art and just picks the ones that stand out to him.

Jennifer Dreyer, an art teacher at Frederick Elementary School, said she chooses based on which students work the hardest.
